MORGAN MORGAN, JR, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

FIRE-FENDER.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 3,675, dated July 22, 1844.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MORGAN MORGAN, Jr., of the city of New York andState of New York, andiron manufacturer, have invented a new Mode ofApplying a Fender to Andirons; and I dohereby declare that the followingis a full and exact description of the construction and operation of thesame, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of thisspecification, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view and Fig. 2 adrawing of the slide.

The nature of my invention consists of a metal ornamented fender A (Fig.1,) which has in some cases joints or hinges B B attached to it, and inothers there are slides aifixed similar to Fig. 2. Those fenders whichhave joints or hinges B B become fixed in their positions, and thosewhich have slides similar to Fig. 2, attached, may be moved along thebars D D Fig. 1, inward or outward as may be required. In some cases thefender A may be fixed by its joints into the holes E E of the bars D, D,and on other occasions the bent joints B B may be placed so as to allowof the tender to hang upon, and slide along, the whole length of thebars D, D. The fender which is attached to the andirons by the means ofjoints or hinges will admit of the bars D, D, Fig. 1, being drawn nearto each other or placed farther apart. The fender will prevent theashes, wood and embers from falling outward and on account of it havingperforations no obstruction will be given to the heat.

What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is Anew mode of applying a fender to andirons by the means of joints, hingesslides, and hanging upon the bars, so that the andiro-ns may be movable.
